--- Comment #6 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2009-04-25 15:57:24 --- Hello,
--- quote --- As Anastasius said, it never used to do this. Wine 1.0, for example, just "ignores" it and no exception occurs. So the new exceptions themselves are regressions (appear sometime after 1.0). This bug is not about getting them to work, it's about stopping the exceptions.
It's also not an enhancement; it's a nuisance that will affect anyone who needs or wants to install WMP9. --- quote ---
Please don’t twist my words and read what I wrote! These exceptions were there the whole time - since the beginning of the universe .. err addition of Wine kernel driver infrastructure! What changed is that unhandled exceptions are now made visible to user by displaying crash dialog box.
Previously you wouldn't notice it until you ran the app from console (backtraces).
Regards
